Lu Li could have spared the Deaf Taoist if he were only another warrior from the Region of Doom. After all, Lu Li did not hold a personal grudge against the Deaf Taoist.
But the Deaf Taoist was a monster from the Region of Doom, which changed everything. If the Deaf Taoist were a beast with no intelligence just like the Dragon Demon, things could be less grave. However, it just so happened that the Deaf Taoist could take shapes of a human. He had been hiding in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos for hundreds of years. Who could tell what he was up to?
Lu Li knew little of the Region of Doom. But he did know that this was a place somewhere in the Divinity, full of wicked and dark monsters. If Lu Li were without such abilities, he would have to leave the matter at that. Now that he had the capacity, he had to kill the Deaf Taoist.
“Swish~”
Lu Li waved the black Relic weapon. It was the Slayer’s move again. The Deaf Taoist reacted fast. He swung the stone column and smash at Lu Li.
But just as the Deaf Taoist took action, he descended into the world of blood. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth immobilized him.
“Bang!”
The blood-red ray of sword light landed on the Deaf Taoist’s chest, knocking him away. The wound on his chest grew deeper. Blood spilled out into the air.
“Roar~”
The Deaf Taoist cried into the air. A dark glow covered him as he ran to the distance. He wasn’t slower than the Immortal’s body.
“Boom~”
He had run for dozens of miles. There was a warrior here to observe. The Deaf Taoist pounded at the warrior with the stone column and the latter was reduced into a pile of minced flesh.
“Run—”
The warriors did not dare to stay to observe. They flew up and fled into the distance in fear. The Deaf Taoist was so horrified that he would kill all the warriors in this area in a fit of rage.
“There is no escape for you!”
Lu Li snorted, and he dashed into the Wicked Bead, taking the Immortal’s body in as well. The Wicked Bead rushed away into the distance in a blur, times faster than the Deaf Taoist.
“How is this possible?”
The Deaf Taoist turned back and was shocked to see the Wicked Bead moving closer at an alarming speed. Lu Li had surprised him time and time again today. The Deaf Taoist’s knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years of the humans in the nine universes had been completely disrupted by a young man.
“Hoy~”
When the Wicked Bead caught up with him, the Deaf Taoist wielded the stone column. He exerted great efforts and the stone column landed on the Wicked Bead with tremendous force. However, the bead only gave out a faint glow and remained still.
“A supreme Relic?”
A trace of greed appeared in the Deaf Taoist’s eyes. But he did not stay. He kept escaping to the distance, glowing in a black light.
“Whoosh!”
The Wicked Bead went after him quickly and eventually came ahead of the Deaf Taoist. Lu Li dashed out and hacked at the Deaf Taoist.
“Swish~”
Clouds were changing and the view was transforming. The dashing Deaf Taoist was forced to a sudden stop. Then, the blood-red ray of sword light landed on the Deaf Taoist with force. The Deaf Taoist was smashed away, and his chest was covered in blood.
“Roar, roar~”
The Deaf Taoist bellowed, which was heard in an area with a radius of hundreds of miles. His ferocious energy made many fleeing warriors tremble in fear.
The Deaf Taoist shouted, and the black glow was glistening. His strong-built body grew taller again and his energy had become more horrifying.
“Roar, roar~”
This time, surprisingly, the Deaf Taoist stopped running. The stone column’s iron chains shone brightly in a black light and submerged into the stone column. The iron chain was moving around in the stone column, which brightened the stone column even more.
“You are going fanatic?”
Lu Li laughed in contempt. This time, he did not wait. He swung the Relic weapon, looking forward to finding out how many more strikes the Deaf Taoist could stand.
“Boom!”
The Deaf Taoist was once again knocked away. He did not try to escape. Instead, after a few roars, he dashed toward Lu Li and swung the stone column in the air.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The space was trembling. Before the stone column landed on Lu Li, a black shadow dashed out toward Lu Li.
“What the hell is that?”
Lu Li saw a huge black flood dragon. He executed caution and went back into the Wicked Bead at once.
“Boom!”
The flood dragon was smashed into the Wicked Bead which was shining brightly. Lu Li was surprised. This strike was forceful. If he were out there to sustain the strike, he would definitely be hurt.
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li set out the Immortal’s body and also the Stone Golems upon closer thinking. They might be of little use, but it was always good to distract the Deaf Taoist a little bit.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The Immortal’s body and the Stone Golems rushed toward the Deaf Taoist who kept roaring and waving the stone column to smash away the Immortal’s body and the Stone Golems.
That destructive energy, that violent feeling, and the magnificent scene was shocking and breathtaking.
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li went out. He wielded the Relic weapon and kept releasing the Slayer’s move. The Deaf Taoist was smashed away, over and over. His wound was growing worse and he was waving the stone column at a slower speed.
“Hey, stop. Let’s talk!”
After he was smashed away for yet another time, the Deaf Taoist’s chest wound had become too serious to look. Bones were exposed and some were fractured, revealing the wounded internal organs. Admittedly, his body was strong because his fury had not died down even with such serious wounds.
“There is nothing to talk about!”
Lu Li replied coldly, “If you were a human being, I could spare your life. But you are a monster from the Region of Doom. Today, I must end you.”
“Boom!”
Smashing away with the Immortal’s body, the Deaf Taoist looked at Lu Li ferociously and said, “It is true that I am an orc, but I do not intend to harm the human beings. I was summoned by the Deranged Taoist Couple. Back then, in the Region of Doom, I was almost on my deathbed. I only came to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos to recover so I could go back to the Region of Doom. If it were not for the fact that I was hurt during that fight, how do you think you can wound me today? I just want you to know the facts. Stop and we will only mind our own businesses. If you push me too hard, this will become a life-and-death struggle.”
“That explains it!”
Lu Li understood why the Deaf Taoist owed the Deranged Taoist Couple even though they were not on good terms. So, this was what had happened.
However, Lu Li did not change his feelings. He continued in a cold tone, “A life-and-death struggle? If you were so capable, then, let’s see! I am not belittling you, but you are nowhere near to crack my Wicked Bead.”
Looking at the Wicked Bead in Lu Li’s hands, the Deaf Taoist was frustrated. He raised his head in a gloomy mood and said to Lu Li, “Then what will it take for you to let me go? Do you have to make me your slave for a hundred years?”
“Eh?”
Lu Li didn’t even think of it before the Deaf Taoist mentioned it. Now, Lu Li was interested.
The Deaf Taoist was strong and… he had not yet recovered to the optimal state. As a spiritual beast, the Deaf Taoist could at least be a great help to Lu Li even if he could not wipe out the Yan Family in the nine universes.
After a pause, Lu Li said with determination, “A hundred years? You wish. Serve me for five hundred years and I will set you free afterward. The other choice is… death!”
